Attaching a patch for list.clear():
1. Implements a new function in Objects/listobject.c named listclear() (to be consistent with the other "method functions")
2. listclear() is registered in list_methods and just calls list_clear(), returning None
3. A documentation string is modeled after dict.clear(), but shaped a bit differently to follow the conventions of other list method docs.
If this look fine to the more experienced devs, things left to do are:
1. Add tests
2. Implement the .copy() method in a similar manner + tests for it
Some random observations:
1. The naming of functions/methods could be made more consistent. See, for example, list_reversed vs. listreverse.
2. The documentation style of list and dict methods is different for no apparent reason:
help({}.pop) gives:
pop(...)
D.pop(k[,d]) -> v, remove specified key and return the corresponding value.
If key is not found, d is returned if given, otherwise KeyError is raised
While help([].pop) gives:
pop(...)
L.pop([index]) -> item -- remove and return item at index (default last).
Raises IndexError if list is empty or index is out of range.
Note the '--' which separates the signature from description in the list version. |
